Catnip Seeds

Product Options

Catnip (Nepeta) is an attractive herbaceous perennial that grows up to 3 feet tall. It has grayish green leaves with light purplish flowers.

Plant in full sun to part shade. Sow after last frost, or start indoors. Cover seeds lightly and keep moist. Germinates in two weeks.

Catnip grows well even in poor soil. It spreads through self seeding and root runners. Catnip blooms July through September. Cut back each year to prevent the plant from becoming straggly. Cats won't harm the seedlings; they wait for the plant to grow into its addictive pungency.
